The Buried Waste Program (BWP) Health and Safety Plan (HSP) establishes the procedures and provides general guidelines for worker and public safety to be used by EG G Idaho, Inc. during the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA)/Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) investigations being performed at the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC), Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The purpose of the BWP investigations is to select, demonstrate, and implement remedial actions that will permanently protect people and the environment from mixed (hazardous and radioactive) waste buried in the Subsurface Disposal Area (SDA) of the RWMC. The Plan applied to EG G, subcontractors to EG G, and employees of other firms and DOE Labs working under the technical direction of EG G at the SDA investigation site. It has been prepared in recognition of and is consistent with NIOSH/OSHA/USCG/EPA Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site Activities, October 1985; the EG G Safety Manual; the EG G Radiological Controls Manual; and EPA Standard Operating Safety Guides, November 1984. 16 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
